Saratoga County hit 2nd place for access to medical care and factors affecting social and economic status. Albany County ranked 2nd for environmental
factors, including the quality of its air and drinking water.

Schenectady County ranked particularly poorly (46th) on quality-of-life measures, including the percentage of adults reporting poor mental or physical
health.

This is the sixth year the County Rankings have been released. Nationwide, this year’s data shows that the healthiest counties in each state have higher
college attendance, fewer preventable hospital stays, and better access to parks and gyms. The least healthy counties in each state have more smokers,
more teen births, and more alcohol related car crashes.

The data are presented in interactive maps and charts that allow users to drill down to county-specific information. Find them here.

Saratoga substantially lower taxes but ranked high on healthy.

Schenectady highest taxed around and way way down in the ranking of health.

Let's see what the mayor's cheerleader says about this.  The one who claims to eat healthy but look at the gut bragging about pizza and pastries, etc


Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent.  
Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and
speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.

you can't MAKE people healthy....they have to choose the style and make the effort....compelling someone to thrive with punitive
responses makes people angry.


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

Schenectady has plenty of healthcare facilities.

it is the people's CHOICE....if they want to go......IT'S THEIR BODY.....PERIOD!!

But we are number one in taxes and teenage pregnancy rates. You can see a renaissance especially on the lines waiting at the food banks and DSS on Broadway. Anyone who lies about
the great quality of life in this County is in the bag for the corrupt machine.

# 1 in poverty too?


All "CHOICES"  ????

Being #1 in teen pregnancy must be a choice.
Being #1 in poverty rates must be a choice

Being #1 in taxes is a choice.
